Professional Accreditation

Professional Accreditation has long been an arduous process in Canada. The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials  (CICIC) provides services in support of international recognition of Canadian and foreign credentials. Check it out to examine your professional accreditation in Canada.

In BC, the BC Internationally Trained Professionals Net ( BCITP) works to help build associations and networks among internationally trained professionals. Two of the most active groups are Association of International Medical Doctors ( AIMD BC) and the Society of Internationally trained Engineers of BC ( SITE BC).

FEE for Service:

 The International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES) was established in 1995, with start-up funding from the provincial government of British Columbia, to help immigrants gain the recognition they need to pursue their career and educational goals in Canada.Using well-established evaluation methodologies, ICES evaluates the credentials of people who have studied in other provinces or countries and determines comparable levels in British Columbia and Canadian terms. The results of an ICES assessment are provided in evaluation reports that are objective, consistent, and reliable.
